A textilefabric, preferably cotton sheeting, B,is placed against the wall,but notcemented or pasted thereto. then painted onto and worked into andthrough the fabric, and to such an extent as to cause a portion, 0, ofthe paint to come betweenthe fabric and the wall and cause the fabric toadhere to the wall. At the same time enough of Paint G is the paint isleft upon the outside'of' the fab ric to coat and form a finishthereupon.
